Title: UDP frame forwarder and compressor
Version: 0.3alpha
Entered-date: 3JAN98
Description: qw_mp forwards UDP frames from one host to another. Only one
port is supported. It is mainly designed to work in conjunction
with QuakeWorld as IP forwarder via modem instead of PPP or
SLIP. It also compress datastream using gzip's methods.
Compression rate is usually 50-40% of original size, so if you
connected to your provider at 28800 bps and your "rate"
parameter in QuakeWorld was set to "2400" you can safely set it
to "5000". It effectively improves gameplay quality. But your
provider must have connection to QW Server wide enough. Also I
noticed that "rate" "5000" not means 5000 chars-per-second, it
is really ~2000 cps. You also can improve pings by disabling of
V.42 compression (V.42 must be enabled thus internal qw_mp
protocol does not frame checking).
